using billets

Hillbilly:
Thinning flakes are the major ones taken to thin the piece and remove lumps, bumps, and humps.  Blending flakes are shorter smoothing flakes to remove minor stuff, deltas from earlier series of flakes, or to build convexity/set up platforms.

D. Tiller:
Got it! Marty seems like a nice guy too. Just wrote him and hes sending me on a bunch of his flint flakes so I can make them into arrowheads.

Now that I know about the different flakes I hope to be making really thin blades soon.

M-P:
Hi,  I just got started with knapping and would feel bad about missing out on the free flakes, but a local knapper gave me some to get me jump started too.    Ron
